Georgia. Walker County. Bible Spring Cave, 2 mi (3 km) NE 
Lookout, 20. VI. 1967, SBP), male. 
Description. Dorsal section of aedeagal tip (figs. 34-36) uni- 
formly rounded and arched; ventral section on right enlarged to 
enclose right dorsal section. Internal sac as in fig. 37. Spermatheca 
(figs. 64-65) with prominent crest. 
Variation. The single male from the summit of Clingman’s 
Dome seems to show differences that, with adequate material, could 
prove to be specifically distinct. The aedeagal tip seems more 
bilobed on the dorsal section and with a more prominent recurved 
flange on the right. The internal sac seems more elongate and less 
curved in its distal half. 
Etymology. The name is derived from the Latin for smoke, 
referring to the species range in the Great Smoky Mountains, 
However, the Georgia population is a disjunct some 200 km to the 
southwest. 
Relationships. The aedeagal tip shows the closest similarity to, 
and is most easily derived from that of A. appalachiana.
